Xikar HC Connecticut; draw is great, tons of smoke with a mild taste, but with something on the finish.

About time!! I've smoked two separate Vitolas in this line, and was very disappointed. They were both extremely plugged. Was it a couple of months that settled her down? Don't think so, but if this is what the first two would have smoked like this cigar would have made my top ten of 2012. Loved it!!!

Cohiba Piramides Extra

These are pretty freaking good. Better than the 1966s currently. Glad I cracked the box, but worried I need to buy more eventually.

I literally just looked at all my sources for comparative shopping. Haha. Too much dough right now though.

First cigar in almost a week. 05 Trinidad Fundadore from a 50 cab. Like coming home when you have been away for awhile....

I have yet to try one of these due to the price. It's the same tobacco as the rest of the Linea Clasica line just a different vitola and fancy band. Just curious how it could taste any different than a fresh CORO. I'm in no way passing judgement, but would just like to hear how they differ???

Roma Craft Intemperance Avarice, smooth, a little sweet, perfect burn & draw, great stick.

I suck at providing detailed reviews, but the best I can say is that it doesn't taste fresh/raw like fresh CoRos. Dunno if maybe HSA aged the first batch prior to release to ensure they tasted good? Most folks smoking them lately seem pretty impressed, and it's definitely very complex.

I do wonder if its really the same tobacco as the other Linea Classica vitolas. The taste seems to get compared to the SigVI a lot.

Nestor SS... Three years aged and they are smoking great.

 

[maverickdrinker]

I've had a few piramides extras. Prefer the Siglo VI actually.

Another cromangon knuckle dragger. Great flavor

Currently smoking a CAO LX2 box press. Has about 6 months on it. Good smoke.

Morning Coffee with a VSG Sorcerer with a few years; hate these things fresh, but develop nicely overtime.
